In reference to „90 Years Ducati“, Klaus Limbächer asked me at the beginning of the year to develop some virtual design studies for the Ducati 1199/1299. In order to provide his customers with material for discussion and ideas. What ought to be developed: something simple, something classic and something – crazy.

::: The Heartbeat
For sure, the sight as well as the ride of a Ducati Panigale S accelerates the pulse of every rider. In addition, the Ducati has its very own heartbeat V engine. This idea characterizes the simple and smart/elegant line-design on the tight dress of the 1199 and 1299 Panigale S.

::: Edizione Hailwood
As 2015 drawn on the Ducati Monster 1200 S LLC, this design is the modern interpretation of the classic Hailwood replica with its golden rims on a Panigale S.

::: The Grand Opera
The Ducati 1199 Panigale S is the sportiest and most sonorous orchestra of the Ducati brand.
Full of passion and perfection, it takes skills to really move and play her to the limit as a sharp blade. The Panigale was never the bearded rock’n’roller or the mainstream musical, but the essence of Italian arts and crafts for the tarmac: she is the »Grand Opera» of motorcycling.
